A web services gateway allows you to configure specific endpoint listeners and deploy gateway and proxy services to those listeners.
To view this pane in the console, click the following path:
bus_name instance_name.
The gateway provides you with a single point of control, access and validation of Web service requests, and allows you to control which Web services are available to different groups of Web service users. It also allows you to map multiple target services to a single gateway service, and to configure proxy services.
You create Web services gateway instances to partition the total set of gateway and proxy services into logical groups to allow simpler management. Note that destinations are already partitioned by the service integration bus, so each gateway instance is limited to gateway and proxy services within the same bus. However, gateway services can then map to target services that are available on other buses.
Configuration properties for this object. These property values are preserved even if the runtime environment is stopped then restarted. See the information center task descriptions for information about how to apply configuration changes to the runtime environment.
The name of the web services gateway instance.

The namespace assigned to this gateway for use in WSDL generation.
See the guidance on Internet standards for the syntax of Uniform Resource Names (URNs) at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2141.txt.
Required | Yes |
Data type | Custom |
The URL of the default proxy WSDL description for use with proxy services.
A gateway service that runs in proxy mode has no actual target services and therefore no WSDL document that the gateway can use to configure the service invocation. A generic template WSDL file is used to configure the basic parameters for the invocation call.
http://host_name:port_number/sibws/proxywsdl/ProxyServiceTemplate.wsdl
where host_name and port_number are
the host name and port number for this application server. For example http://your.server.name:9080/sibws/proxywsdl/ProxyServiceTemplate.wsdl
Alternatively,
you can supply the Web address of your own equivalent template WSDL
file.Required | Yes |
